Google Hacks Android SIM Cards and Admits It!

Since the beginning of 2017, Android phones have been collecting the addresses of nearby cellular towers?even when location services are disabled?and sending that data back to Google. The result is that Google, the unit of Alphabet behind Android, has access to data about individuals? locations and their movements that go far beyond a reasonable consumer expectation of privacy.

Quartz observed the data collection occur and contacted Google, which confirmed the practice.
Fuck Google ...
